Tell Rebecca how many staff need certifying and she will send back a date and a figure. ## How much is an emergency first aid course? The cost of an emergency first aid course depends on how many people you are training, where the training happens and how the theory is delivered, because emergency first aid at work is priced per group booking at your own premises rather than per seat, so the honest answer is that you need a quote built around your headcount and your dates. **Ring Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training on 07771 680794 with your staff numbers and preferred week, and Rebecca will price your emergency first aid course at your own site.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## What actually drives the price of an emergency first aid course Four things move the number, and none of them are mysterious. The first is group size. Emergency first aid at work runs with up to 12 delegates, and a booking for eleven staff costs the same as a booking for twelve, which means a school or a workplace that fills the room gets far better value per person than one that books five. The second is delivery. Training happens at your premises, so there is no venue hire in the figure and no travel cost for your team. Your staff walk from the staffroom to the hall and back. That removes the hidden expense most people forget to count: cover, mileage and half a day of lost time per person. The third is format. A full classroom day is one day, around six hours, with up to 12 delegates and a certificate valid for three years. Blended delivery is available as an option and keeps exactly the same duration and compliance: the practical element runs at your venue and the theory is completed online beforehand, which suits sites that struggle to release everyone for a full uninterrupted day. The fourth is scope. Emergency first aid at work delivered by Aim2Aid includes paediatric content at no extra cost, which matters enormously in a school setting where the casualty is more likely to be a child than an adult. That inclusion is part of the course, not an upsell. Whether you need emergency first aid for schools or [emergency first aid for schools in Reading](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/resources/emergency-first-aid-for-schools-reading/), we cover the whole area, and the pricing logic is the same wherever the site sits. ## Why per-group pricing beats per-seat pricing for schools Schools rarely need one first aider. They need enough trained adults to cover playground duty, PE, trips, breakfast club and after-school provision, plus a margin for absence. Buying that cover one seat at a time on a public course is the expensive route, and it drags staff off site for a day each time. Booking a closed group changes the maths. One trainer, one hall, one day, up to 12 of your people certified together. Everybody hears the same instructions, practises on the same equipment and leaves with the same understanding of what your policy says. When something goes wrong in the corridor, that shared language is worth as much as the certificate. It also means the scenarios can be yours. The trainer can work through the situations your staff genuinely face: a seizure in assembly, an allergic reaction at lunch, a head injury on the field. Generic delivery costs the same to sit through and teaches less. Whether you need emergency first aid for schools or [emergency first aid for schools in Windsor](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/resources/emergency-first-aid-for-schools-windsor/), we cover the whole area, and the group model is how we keep the cost per trained adult sensible. **Ring Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training on 07771 680794 with your staff numbers and preferred week, and Rebecca will price your emergency first aid course at your own site.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## What you should get for the money A price with nothing behind it is not a bargain. Here is what the figure should include as standard: - **Accreditation that stands up.** The first aid courses are accredited by FAIB, and the mental health courses are accredited by FAA. Two different bodies for two different things, kept straight. - **A three-year certificate** for every delegate who completes the course, issued after the assessment, not promised later. - **In-house trainers.** Aim2Aid never outsources delivery. Rebecca leads the team, and the trainers on your site are her own, with over 50 years of combined experience between them. - **All equipment brought to you.** Manikins, defibrillator trainers, dressings and consumables arrive with the trainer. - **Paediatric content included** in emergency first aid at work at no extra cost. - **A straight answer on numbers.** If your needs assessment says you need more first aiders than one course covers, you should be told that before you book, not after. The [Health and Safety Executive](https://www.hse.gov.uk/simple-health-safety/firstaid/first-aid-training.htm) (HSE) makes clear that the responsibility for judging how much first aid provision a workplace needs sits with the employer, so any provider worth paying should be helping you think that through rather than just selling you a date. If you want the full picture of what the course covers before you ask for a figure, [our emergency first aid for schools services page](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/first-aid-training/emergency-first-aid-for-schools/) sets out the content and the practical arrangements. ## How to get an accurate figure without a sales dance You do not need a discovery call to find out what a course costs. You need to answer three questions: how many staff, which term or half term, and classroom or blended. With those three answers a quote can be put together quickly and it will not move afterwards. It helps to check your certificate expiry dates before you ring. Renewal is far cheaper than the alternative, which is discovering in September that six of your trained adults expired over the summer and having to scramble. Emergency first aid at work certificates last three years, so a simple spreadsheet with expiry dates lets you book one course a year and keep cover level instead of lurching between gluts and gaps. Aim2Aid Ltd is based in Windsor, Berkshire, company number 16319053, and delivers across Berkshire and surrounding areas, always at your own premises.
